Saturnus \u00e4r k\u00e4nd som \u2018ringarnas herre\u2019, \u00e4ven om de tre andra j\u00e4tteplaneterna \u2013 Jupiter, Uranus och Neptunus \u2013 ocks\u00e5 har ringar. Saturnus system intar en s\u00e4rst\u00e4llning, eftersom dess ringar \u00e4r extremt ljusa och mycket stora.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

De kan vara rester av en satellit eller en komet som g\u00e5tt s\u00f6nder. N\u00e4r de uppt\u00e4cktes p\u00e5 1600-talet visade teckningar att de s\u00e5g ut som enorma \u2018Mickey Mouse-\u00f6ron\u2019 p\u00e5 vardera sidan om planeten. I takt med att teleskopen blev b\u00e4ttre ins\u00e5g astronomerna att de best\u00e5r av miljontals fragment av is och sten. Luckor i ringarna har rensats bort av gravitationen fr\u00e5n n\u00e4rliggande m\u00e5nar.<\/p>\n

De platta ringarna liknar en gigantisk CD-skiva och har en diameter p\u00e5 \u00f6ver 275 000 km \u2013 tillr\u00e4ckligt breda f\u00f6r att fylla st\u00f6rre delen av avst\u00e5ndet mellan jorden och m\u00e5nen \u2013 men \u00e4r mindre \u00e4n 1 km tjocka. N\u00e4r Saturnus och jorden r\u00f6r sig upp och ner i sina banor f\u00f6r\u00e4ndras v\u00e5r vy av ringarna. \u00c5r 2003 var de som ljusast och vackrast. Men vart 15:e \u00e5r ser vi dem i profil. D\u00e5 \u00e4r de osynliga f\u00f6r alla utom de st\u00f6rsta teleskopen. Det \u00e4r ett bra tillf\u00e4lle att leta efter sm\u00e5 m\u00e5nar n\u00e4ra ringarna.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Saturn is famous as the ‘lord of the rings’, even though the other three giant gas planets \u2013 Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune \u2013 also have rings.
